Did you drive your Boxer today?

I am not sure if we have such a thread in the Boxer section but anyhow here you go. After many months of government applied isolation and lock-down, we are finally able to meet again in our wonderful cars. I met up with 21 F-cars in the city center of the small Danish town Assens. Mostly 308's, 328's and Dino's, a queen Mary and a 212 (Replica) and a few more modern ones. I proudly represented the Boxer marque by showing my resentfully restored 512 BBi. I'm surprised how much positive attention the Boxer gets from the audience and based on the many comments I received I'm pretty sure that our flat v-twelve cars are rising fast in popularity and cool factor. The day was rounded of by a trip to the Strøjer car collection. One of finest private collections of super and special cars and a comprehensive collection of Ferrari's. The founder himself, Jørgen Strøjer, showed us around. Drove nearly 400 Km throughout the day in very hot weather and the car performed wonderful.

Best, regards Peter

Absolutely correct. Most of those I spoke to didn't know the model nor the family relation to the modern Testarossa. A Boxer is a very rare sight on the roads in the Nordic countries and alone in Denmark they can counted on one hand. By the way Strøjer had a nice cabureted Boxer in his collection that he had just acquired.

Excellent performance from the air-con system thankfully. Ran it during the entire trip and wouldn't have enjoyed it without. The car gets so hot from the massive engine in the back.

Yes, the system is converted to 134A with new hoses, expansion valve, dryer, sensors etc. Not super cool but makes a big difference. I actually prefer to drive my 308GTS with open roof when it is very hot but my son insisted in taking the Boxer.

Would have loved to continue with R12 but it is completely impossible to get hands on in my region and has been illegal for years. R134A will always be a compromise in these old inefficient cooling systems. Any Testarossa model are also a part of the Boxer family in my world...regardless non of our cars are Boxers in the real terminology...-

Apparently not many Boxer owners drive their car . Anyway I attended a classic car gathering at the Sorgenfri Castle in Denmark a little month ago with more than 800 other cars joining the show. Today I received a few picture shots of my car from a photograph that fell in love with the Boxer. Please enjoy.

Indeed it's a thirsty car!

What a wonderful car. Great looking in white. Someone should push those rear mirrors against Newton though.
